Marshall's POV
"I used to say I never met a guy like you before still ain't got a fuckin' clue as to who you truly are." Angel said as we stood together on the balcony of her new apartment. She wiped her eyes and looked at the skyline. "Now I just feel stupid for the loop that you threw me for can't believe I almost flew the coop for you.You used to say all you wanted was for me to be yours. Where's that you? It was a shock, it struck me as odd but it turned me on."
"You started getting moody on me, pretty soon we'd argue and the ruder you got, the more beautiful you got to me." I said and breathed out the cold air.
"Who woulda even knew that, who woulda even thought possibly Cupid could shoot another one of them God damn darts at me. It's true that I got shot in the heart. These past couple of months flew by us and I fell for you. But, you're going to marry her. I'm going to be at that wedding something like eight months pregnant. But when someone seems too good to be true, they usually are. You are too comfortable with this I'm seeing that know. But see, when you're in it it's too hard to see. I never thought I'd find someone to be mine. Lord knows I was right." She said and adjusted her earrings.
"Ange-"
"As of tonight we ain't sleeping together no more."
"What about us?"
"What about us? Those days are gone." She said and she took off her sweatshirt. I looked at her bump and kissed it.
"Angel, I'm sober now remember." I lied and she laughed. She dug in my pocket and then pulled out a plastic bag and opened it, dropping my pills on the glass table that was out here.
"You're a fuckin' liar. The only thing you changed is your way of hiding things, that's it." I looked at her and then anger rushed through my vains.
"YOU FUCKIN' SLUTBAG! YOU'RE A HO!" She looked take aback.
"Wh-"
"I didn't mean it."
"Get out!" She shouted hoarsely and walked off into her room. I followed closely behind and as she tried to shut the door I put my foot on the door.
"Move Marshall." She said and sniffled.
"No." I said and she fought with me through the door but I guess pregnant women have a bigger strength for ass whoopin'. She pushed me and as I placed my hand on the door frame the door slammed on my wrist and it cracked. I moved it and screamed in pain. She opened the door and looked at me and I kicked the bathroom door.
"AH FUCK!" I screamed and held my wrist. She kinda busted out laughing and then I glared at her.
"I'm sorry." She laughed and she offered to drive me to the hospital.
Hospital
"I fell." I lied and the doctor laughed.
"For shame Angel did you have something to do with this?"
"I sure did. I sprayed Pledge on the floor." She laughed and winked at me. My eye added it's extra twitch and she laughed.
"Pregnancy hormones." The Doctor suggested.
"Yeah. Speaking of which, I forgot when my next check up is." She said and I laughed.
"December the 30th. Is that okay?"
"Yeah. Yeah." She said and the doctor adjusted my cast. I was dreading getting back into the car. We were talking about it or whatever and I just didn't want to tell her.
Car Ride
"So you're with her and not with me I hope she's sweet and so pretty I hear she cooks delightfully a little angel beside you. So you're with her and not with me oh how lucky one man can be. Oh how lovely with your homecoming queen. It would be so simple if it was what it used to be. What it is ain't what it was. What should it be when it comes to you. How it seems ain't how it is there's been a change when it comes to you and me and I'm figuring it out." She said and I nodded. She dropped me off and drove off. I walked into the house and Hailie was on the couch sleeping. I walked upstairs and Kim was sleeping so I tried to crawl in bed and She groaned.
"Go back to sleep baby." I said and she pushed me off of her.
"Stay off me." She said and I groaned.
"Why you mad?"
"Marshall, it's 3:30 AM." She said and I rolled my eyes.
"Shut up." Kim sat up.
"What's your fucking problem?" I looked at the ceiling and she punched me and I hit her back and she screamed.
"What the fucking hell!" She screamed.
"You deserve it you hit me first and provoked me to choke you." I said and she laid her head down on the pillow.
Bowling the next day
"Cassidy, this is my friend Grace and Mitchie." I said and Cassidy smirked.
"Hey, I'm Cassidy." She said and smiled. I grabbed the bowling ball in my left and then shot it down the alley. I looked over and saw Angel walk in with the kids and several of her friends. DeShaun happened to be with her. They got their shoes and walked to the one next to us and she didn't make eye contact with me. Mario's little cute self was dancing around the chairs and she smiled.
"Marshall it's your turn now." Cass said and I nodded.
"I gotta piss." I said and she nodded. Angel walked straight into the bathroom and I walked straight into that one considering it was for men and women and locked the door. I checked each stall and nobody else was here.
"Marshall, are you fucking stupid?" She asked. I shook my head no and grabbed her.
5 minutes later
She adjusted her hair and jacket and looked at me.
"Marshall." She said and looked at me.
"What?"
"Tell her."
"What?"
"Tell her." She said and walked out.
